The main causes cited are hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy; hypoglycemia; encephalitis; inborn errors of metabolism; water and electrolyte disturbances; carbon monoxide poisoning; and demyelinating disorders.

In conclusion, the possibility of acute or chronic kernicterus should be considered when clinical symptoms, biochemical data, and MRI findings are suggestive of the disease, the chronic presentation and permanent, irreversible profile being promoted by bilirubin neurotoxicity.
